Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
We often think about relationships on a scale from positive to negative. We are drawn to loving family members,caring classmates and supportive mentors. We do our best to avoid the cruel uncle,the playground bully and the jerk boss.
But the most toxic relationships aren't the purely negative ones. They're the ones that are a mix of positive and negative. We often call them frenemies,supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you. But it's not just friends. It's the in-laws who volunteer to watch your kids but belittle your parenting. The manager who praises your work but denies you a promotion.
Everyone knows how relationships like that can tie your stomach into a knot. But groundbreaking research led by the psychologists Bert Uchino and Julianne Holt-Lunstad shows that ambivalent (矛盾情绪的) relationships can be damaging to your health—even more than purely negative relationships.
I had assumed that with a neighbor or a colleague,having some positive interactions was better than all negative interactions. But being cheered on by the same person who cuts you down doesn't reduce the bad feelings; it increases them. And it's not just in your head:It leaves a trace in your heart and your blood.
Even a single ambivalent interaction can cause harm. In one experiment,people gave impromptu speeches on controversial topics in front of a friend who offered feedback. The researchers had randomly assigned the friend to give ambivalent or negative comments. Receiving mixed feedback caused higher blood pressure than pure criticism. I would have gone about the topic differently,but you're doing fine proved to be more distressing than I totally disagree with everything you've said.
The evidence that ambivalent relationships can be bad for us is strong,but the reasons can be harder to read—just like the relationships themselves.
The most intuitive reason is that ambivalent relationships are unpredictable. With a clear enemy,you put up a shield when you cross paths. With a frenemy,you never know whether Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde is going to show up. Feeling unsure can disrupt the body's calming system and activate a fight-or-flight response. It's unsettling to hope for a hug while also preparing for a likely quarrel.
Another factor is that unpleasant interactions are more painful in an ambivalent relationship. It's more upsetting to be let down by people you like sometimes than by people you dislike all the time. When someone stabs you in the back,it stings more if he's been friendly to your face.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,该研究发现最有害的人际关系不是纯粹负面的关系,而是混合了正面和负面情绪的关系。这种关系被称为“亦敌亦友”的关系,即有时帮助你,有时伤害你的关系。
1.Which of the following can be counted as a frenemy?
A.Your neighbour's kid who advises you to study hard but idles away his own time.
B.Your classmate who admires your diligence at first,but doubts your intelligence later.
C.Your mother's friend who encourages you to spend more time on homework but less on smartphones.
D.Your father's colleague who proposes you to do a moderate amount of homework while ensuring adequate sleep.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可推知,“亦敌亦友”指的是有时候帮助你,有时候伤害你的关系。选项B“Your classmate who admires your diligence at first,but doubts your intelligence later.”符合这一表述。故选B。
2.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A.Ambivalent relationships have a permanent effect on your well-being.
B.The common cause for high blood pressure is ambivalent relationship.
C.Ambivalent interactions will be more painful if it is done consciously.
D.The negative impact of ambivalent interactions is direct and strong.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But being cheered on by the same person who cuts you down doesn't reduce the bad feelings; it increases them. And it's not just in your head:It leaves a trace in your heart and your blood.”以及文章第五段内容可推知,矛盾情绪相互作用的负面影响是直接且强烈的。故选D。
3.The underlined word “belittle” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A.devalue B.appreciate
C.respect D.abuse
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线单词下一句“The manager who praises your work but denies you a promotion.”可知,这类人帮助你又会贬低你。画线单词上文“watch your kids”是帮助,由此可推知,画线单词belittle 意为“轻视”,与A项devalue 意思相近。故选A。
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Some Negative Relationships Are Bad for Your Health
B.Your Most Ambivalent Relationships Are the Most Toxic
C.The Reasons for Ambivalent Relationships Are
Unpredictable
D.Some Positive Relationships Are Better than All Negative Ones
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其根据文章第三段内容可知,文章主要介绍的是最矛盾的关系才是最有害的。故选B。

Recently our class had a heated discussion on whether the sea is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.
30% of us think sea exploration is not worthwhile,holding the opinion that it will pollute the sea. Some people hunt marine animals without mercy,causing them to die out. However,70% of us think the sea is worth exploring,which is beneficial to human beings. To better understand our planet,we must explore the sea. Moreover,the sea is abundant in a variety of resources,which enables us to solve the problem of energy shortages.
As far as I am concerned,it's worthwhile to explore the sea for the benefit of future generations. Meanwhile,we should exploit the sea properly.
